Tartan Day!!

Today is April 6th and in 1320 on this date the Declaration of Arbroath was signed, the Scottish Declaration of Independence. Thus, this is a day to celebrate everyone who has descended from this great nation. The whole idea and celebration of this day has been more European (for obvious reasons) and in the USA, because their declaration of independence was modeled after the Scottish one. I think this is a pretty cool day, a chance to celebrate our history, heritage and an awesome culture. And since the amazing country we live in is all about cultural diversity, we should all join in on the passing of this day, much like St. Patrick's Day.

There is a huge parade in New York City (as pictured above) on Sat and a bunch of concerts and massive party's all week. If I had the money, going to this party would be worth every cent! So, I'm going to pump up the bag pipe music, play along on my snare, get some Gaelic poems and party like a true Scotsman (or Women). I encourage all of you to do the same!! Raise your glass in celebration of this amazing country and the culture and tradition that has come to blend into our Canadian culture. ~ Photo and other details from http://www.tartanweek.com/
